Barcelona manager Xavi previewed the clash against Real Madrid
Barcelona are set to return to action in a La Liga home clash on March 19 as they take on Real Madrid in the El Clasico. Xavi's side have 65 points from 25 La Liga matches and are holding a massive nine-point lead over Real Madrid.
Speaking to the media ahead of the match, Xavi was asked to share his take on the upcoming riveting clash. He said (via Barca Universal):
“We will try to have control with the ball. We want to be better than the Copa del Rey match. Real Madrid have been doing very well lately.”
He was further quizzed about the favorite for the match. Xavi claimed that both teams are on an even playing field. He stated:
“I think it’s 50-50. We have our fans and they will support us, but I think tomorrow’s game is 50% for both teams. If we win tomorrow, it’ll be a very important victory. It certainly will not decide the league, though.”
Barcelona enter the contest on the back of a 1-0 away win against Athletic Bilbao. Real Madrid, meanwhile, defeated Liverpool by a scoreline of 1-0 in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
The two teams have already met thrice this season, with the Blaugrana winning on two occasions.
